4. Windowed Multipole Library Format

/version (char[])
The format version of the file. The current version is “v0.2”
/nuclide/
  • broaden_poly (int[])

    If 1, Doppler broaden curve fit for window with corresponding index. If 0, do not.

  • curvefit (double[][][])

    Curve fit coefficients. Indexed by (reaction type, coefficient index, window index).

  • data (complex[][])

    Complex poles and residues. Each pole has a corresponding set of residues. For example, the \(i\)-th pole and corresponding residues are stored as

    \[\text{data}[:,i] = [\text{pole},~\text{residue}_1,~\text{residue}_2, ~\ldots]\]

    The residues are in the order: total, competitive if present, absorption, fission. Complex numbers are stored by forming a type with “\(r\)” and “\(i\)” identifiers, similar to how h5py does it.

  • end_E (double)

    Highest energy the windowed multipole part of the library is valid for.

  • energy_points (double[])

    Energy grid for the pointwise library in the reaction group.

  • fissionable (int)

    1 if this nuclide has fission data. 0 if it does not.

  • fit_order (int)

    The order of the curve fit.

  • formalism (int)

    The formalism of the underlying data. Uses the ENDF-6 format formalism numbers.

    Table of supported formalisms.
    Formalism Formalism number
    MLBW 2
    Reich-Moore 3
  • l_value (int[])

    The index for a corresponding pole. Equivalent to the \(l\) quantum number of the resonance the pole comes from \(+1\).

  • length (int)

    Total count of poles in data.

  • max_w (int)

    Maximum number of poles in a window.

  • MT_count (int)

    Number of pointwise tables in the library.

  • MT_list (int[])

    A list of available MT identifiers. See ENDF-6 for meaning.

  • n_grid (int)

    Total length of the pointwise data.

  • num_l (int)

    Number of possible \(l\) quantum states for this nuclide.

  • pseudo_K0RS (double[])

    \(l\) dependent value of

    \[\sqrt{\frac{2 m_n}{\hbar}}\frac{AWR}{AWR + 1} r_{s,l}\]

    Where \(m_n\) is mass of neutron, \(AWR\) is the atomic weight ratio of the target to the neutron, and \(r_{s,l}\) is the scattering radius for a given \(l\).

  • spacing (double)
    \[\frac{\sqrt{E_{max}}- \sqrt{E_{min}}}{n_w}\]

    Where \(E_{max}\) is the maximum energy the windows go up to. This is not equivalent to the maximum energy for which the windowed multipole data is valid for. It is slightly higher to ensure an integer number of windows. \(E_{min}\) is the minimum energy and equivalent to start_E, and \(n_w\) is the number of windows, given by windows.

  • sqrtAWR (double)

    Square root of the atomic weight ratio.

  • start_E (double)

    Lowest energy the windowed multipole part of the library is valid for.

  • w_start (int[])

    The pole to start from for each window.

  • w_end (int[])

    The pole to end at for each window.

  • windows (int)

    Number of windows.

/nuclide/reactions/MT<i>
  • MT_sigma (double[]) – Cross section value for this reaction.
  • Q_value (double) – Energy released in this reaction, in eV.
  • threshold (int) – The first non-zero entry in MT_sigma.
